It is not about how much you can spend but instead how you go about spending what you have got

Williams Martini Racing Deputy Team Principal Claire
Williams has said that it is not how much money you in Formula One but instead
whether or not you spend the money you have wisely.

The Grove based outfit are currently in third place in the
championship on 61 points which is where they finished last season, and
although they have a title sponsorship agreement with Martini and various other
big name commercial partners they have a much smaller budget compared to the ‘big
three teams’ Ferrari, Infiniti Red Bull Racing and Mercedes.

Williams said that as a long as the team believe that they
can compete for championships than that is what they will do. Williams have won
championships before beating McLaren and Ferrari despite having a smaller
budget and she sees no reason why they can’t do that again.

Last season, the Grove based outfit finished the year in
third place in the championship ahead of Ferrari and indeed McLaren. Speaking
to Sky Sports F1 Williams stated that she heard that over the winter, Ferrari
had invested a further £100 million into their development programme for 2015
and that this was her entire budget for the Williams Martini Racing Team.

Williams went on to say that her team are currently ahead of
Infiniti Red Bull Racing and McLaren-Honda and that is how they want it to stay
while trying to close the gap to Mercedes and Ferrari.
